The Ireland women's 4x100m relay team has won silver at the World U-20 Championships in Tampere, Finland.

The team of Molly Scott, Gina Akpe-Moses, Ciara Neville and Patience Jumbo-Gula ran a national under-20 record time of 43.90 to finish behind Germany and in front of Great Britain to take the second spot on the podium.

Rhasidat Adeleke was in the quartet for the semi-final but was replaced by Neville in the line-up after she suffered an injury.

WORLD SILVER MEDALISTS!!!!! So so proud of my team, it’s been a long journey with these girls and we’ve put so much hard work and tears into this team, so happy it’s finally paid off 😭😭 thank you to EVERYONE who made it possible, most of all our amazing coach @karenkirk73pic.twitter.com/m5YNx5FB73

That silver medal won by @irishathletics 4 x100m team was .06 off he Irish senior record. Imagine if the last change was a little bit better Ireland could have the World champions. All the same my nerves are gone. Well done girls !!! #tampere2018
